I am hesitant to post this because of JFK JR and ignoring with the politicians in power against ASD. Gait is not constant in the stride. It all depends on the footwear. The constant for me is being silent while walking. Be the ball of your feet or the heels. Having auditory issues / sensitive to sound, I walk to be silent and unheard. Walking and scaring wildlife and other humans was a personally taught process. I cannot stand clothing that makes noise while moving nor the sound of my own footsteps. It is also a means to allow for listening of my environment so I am not shocked or surprised. This also why it is extremely hard to spoke me. Silence is gold because it allows me filter in the environment. I want to hear the person walking behind me or were I cannot see. I want to walk up to a person and they don't know. This also reduces engagements. Walking on the ball of your feet is silent up to the point of stretching and cracking your bones. Walking on the heels is also silent when reducing push down with long heel to toe arch. All of course it is defined by the footage and how they squeeze during application to the to the ground dependent on the gait. The gait and noise it makes also highlights if an aspie has a grander stimulus to sound or not. Those that do not have auditory issues will easily pound their heels into their ground and make the floor shake. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have the same thoughts and reasons why and to see someone else write this is just spooky. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

lots of households don't wear shoes indoors. heel stomping around is much, much louder than ball-walking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yours is a fascinating take on the topic, I learned a lot, thank you. I'm left thinking that signs of autism could very well be encoded in the way you walk. I'm asd myself, but i think i show it in speech patterns, not walking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
